Kalem Island Holidays

The rooms are newly renovated, pretty and clean. There is a country chic look with a nice distressed furniture look that gives the room nice lines. The staff although knowing limited English were helpful. The bathrooms are glass enclosed so anyone in the room can see fully into the bathroom which for me wasn’t an issue because I was traveling alone but if you are traveling with anyone other than a life partner it would be odd not to have toilet privacy. Although even with a romantic partner an open visible toilet is odd. I had the a/c on the whole night on full but it never got very cold. Summer heat could be bad. When I arrived there was no tea kettle and this was quickly remedied. Although I questioned whether the room was not a full view room and was told partial views were on the lower level, the room did have part of the view cut by the building next door. Also when I arrived I wanted to take a nap but there was a lot of hammer banging. In the evening the power went off for about 10-15 minutes. In the morning the water temp kept changing. The hotel does have its own parking. You are up on a hill and not in an area where things are easily accessible without a car. However it is near walking distance to windmills. Wouldn’t take the car as right after the hotel the roads become terrible with uneven rocks. Their bteakfast was great. Fresh egg dish offered along with a traditional Turkish breakfast with fresh pishi and a variety of breakfast items.

Good resort and friendly staff . At the dining we had Farhad looking after us with excellent service.

We actually booked the batihan sea resort and by the time we got there it was actually full they put is in another Ultra luxury hotel called batihan vadi it was so amazing with a private villa and a 5 star service. Everything was invlusive and it was the best experiences we had during our stay. We also had free transportation to the beach everytime we wanted to get there and were allowed to use any of the services in that beach resort as well. Extremely hapoy with their service. Their turkish hamam was one of the best! Thank you Hakan for makingour stay so amazing
